priming oil pump
ok, so i been reading around a bit. we had a hmt meet, where we put the teg engine back together and back in the car. :y
everything is pretty much slapped on now. (misplaced bolts/nuts, school, and work slowed me down) so anywho, i have to prime the oil pump? err, so i crank the engine, with the fuse pulled to get oil going or what? whats the deal? |

No one mentioned any fuel issue. Last thing you want when firing up a new engine are dry internals and washed out cylinders. This may be obvious to such veteran engine builders as yourself, but not to the OP. 10 days is not that long....it's only twice as long as your period. |

I apologize if you feel like this guy needs his hand held through this process, but fact is I was not incorrect. I have built plenty of engines priming them by doing nothing more than unplugging the dizzy. It hurts nothing. I get tired of repeating this because it sounds arrogant, which is not my goal, but heres the short version. Im a Master certified Porsche tech. I know what the ---- im talking about. /thread |
